Hello, I wish to join in the fight against the scam,
At the moment am corresponding with the three addresses scam, very interesting and funny moments occur during the correspondence came to the first phase of collecting money from the victim, trying to keep up a correspondence that would not frighten off the bully.
1), ATM cards translate for foreign clients (victims)
2), deception by the Australian lottery
3), Deception with the Certificate of Deposit,
Fraudsters use a fairly standard scheme of deception, ask advice from you, how about these fraudsters posmeyatsya and joke.
In my case (I speak as a victim :wink: ) fraudsters use certificates and forms and the addresses of real offices. They moved in this case :=) :laugh-s:
Please excuse me for bad English speech, I am from Russia.

Hello,

My name is Joe and I am in the US.

We have been trying to rent a room in our house on Craig's List since May. I have received emails from 30 people who are scammers and have about 150 emails from them. I even have received 2 checks and am about to receive a third - all fake of course.

One of the first persons to email, sent a check for $2,700. When I made the mistake of depositing it, it of course bounced. When I soon received another check fo $8,000 from a different peson, I went to my bank and explained the situation to them, they investigated the check and determined that it was a fraud.

If you get a suspecious check, DO NOT DEPOSIT IT. When it is returned to the scammer, they now have your bank and account number and can DRAIN your account.

I continue to use Craig's List because I do get some legitimate calls. I have learned to spot the scammers. They have all been from outside the US, almost all use very bad English, all work for a humanitarian profession - medical, teaching, working with disabled kids or adults.

After I receive their first email, I send them an application explaining that I need the application back in order to further communicate with them. Nobody has sent back the application, in fact, most people totally ignore it as if it were never sent.

Be suspecious of anyone asking you to cash their check (usually for more than you asked for) and sending them the overage. Do not deposit any check. Explain the situation to your bank and have them try to determine if it is good. At least this way they won't accuse you of fraud.
